This may have been mentioned before, but it may not hurt to mention it
again.
Take an old newspaper, stick it somewhere on the trunk flange then shut the
trunk lid. Give the newspaper a pull, if it is held securely, open trunk,
move newspaper and do all over again. If you find a place where the paper
isn't held tightly, take a big rubber hammer, and tap the trunk flange from
underneath, bending it upward slightly. That should take care of any areas
where the seal isn't clamping firmly.
Also, investigate the floor seams in the trunk, especially around the
wheelhouses. Sometimes the factory undercoating may have fell out or been
incomplete, then when you drive the car in the rain, the tires toss moisture
up into the trunk. Trunk leaks can be a bear to find sometimes, so hopefully
this will help, if nothing else does.
